Why Did We Call a Timeout?

I can't seem to understand why we called a timeout before the halftime when we all knew they we're going to run and they came back at us with a run again and picked up enough to go for a hail mary!

I mean if they run and we stop them, time drops and they probably wouldn't even have enough time to make those 2 big plays. We gave them time to rest !!!

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

Or a wide-open Jermichael Finley.

I will say, on replay it looked like Jennings might have run the wrong route. He looked really confused as he adjusted back toward the wrong ball. Either that, or Rodgers threw the ball to the wrong location. In either case, there seems to have been a miscommunication.

Also on the Hail Mary, I would have got burned too and that's why I am sitting at home and they are coaching out there I guess. But I thought the Giants were going to do a quick throw to the outside to get out of bounds for a FG, I was completely surprised when they went Hail Mary. I think the media and fans are a bit harsh on the D and MM on that play. It was not a traditional Hail Mary situation. For example, where you are down by 6 with 3 seconds left or whatever. The Giants were about 5-10 yards from a FG. Would you really play a traditional Hail Mary defense if the other team only needed a FG with 6 seconds left?

The play before, with the run, I don't understand it at all. That was nuts, to allow someone to get 15 yards and get out of bounds when you know they are running. But the actual Hail Mary, I don't know, I was fooled for sure.

I'm not judging the play call, just wondering what the reason of his timeout is ... I mean I was expecting a short throw not a hail mary also but what was the t.o. for?

Not to say it was either persons fault but I think Rodgers probably put the ball where he meant to.

Rodgers was also throwing on the run. In any case you GOTTA be able to make those plays. Between that play and the Finley throw as well a few throws to wide open recievers that they had to almost lay out and scoop off the ground, rodgers had a very, very poor game...To the Level that I have not seen from him. Not this year, not last year not even in 2008.

Hail Marys sometimes work. The Packers had three players within a foot of the ball before the receiver's feet touched down. Sometimes shit happens.

The inexcusable bit, as several have pointed out, was the play before. No way should he have been able to run downfield, then across the field, then out of bounds. If the Packers had 50 percent of SF's defense tackling skills, the clock would have run out and the hail mary play (or a FG or spiking the ball or anything else NY might have done) would have never taken place. The clock would have run out.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

wpr (18h) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
